This is an account or diary [sort of] by an ordinary woman, in an ordinary life, who suddenly found herself with ovarian cancer. How extraordinary! And rather startling to say the least.
When I looked for information for myself, I couldn't find anything 'personal' by other ordinary women like me. Lots of info, but mainly medical facts and scary statistics. Then I discovered blogs. This might cheer up or help other people like me to see there can be a light at the end of the tunnel.

Cuba! Oct 2013

I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind.
Some come from ahead and some come from behind.
But I've bought a BIG BAT. I'm all ready you see.
Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!

please think of my friend?

This evening I have a face awash with tears. And I am filled with rage and sadness. I keep looking up at the ceiling – just to feel that wrench in the front of my neck – just to feel still alive. And to try to be calm and stop this crying. I have had the most horrible few weeks. I think.

Oh! Actually. No, I haven't; actually, I haven't at all. I just thought I had. But really one of my friends has. She is ill. Extremely ill. My week was simply filled with worry about her and her family and sundry other [quite unimportant somehow] stuff.

She is suffering. But she is a tiger. A fighter. A wonderful woman, intelligent, beautiful and interesting to know. She has three lovely daughters whom I've heard a lot about from her – all good things. I met them once. They are admirable. And beautiful too. She adores them, each one for their own individualities. And a sweet husband, equally loved – he has been amazing in his support according to her - and with the same name as my FH. Odd.

My friend has the orange top on in the photo. And the blue nails. Blue? Heh heh. She is in such a hard place right now. Sometimes it's hard to know what to do, what to say…so, just think of my friend please? It might help.

About Me

I was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer, stage 3b in February 2008 at the age of 46. I had a total hysterectomy and oopherectomy, then completed 6 cycles of chemotherapy. It wasn't very funny, [ugh - bald! what?] but I'm still laughing!
Oh, and I'm still HERE!
